ALBANY — University Police said it could take up to two months to learn what caused the death of an 18-year-old Elizabethtown College student after his body was discovered Saturday in a car on the University at Albany's main campus.

Investigator Aran Mull said Sunday that police must wait on lab results, which can take six to eight weeks, before completing the autopsy findings for Jared Trotti, who was originally from Oneonta before attending Elizabethtown in Pennsylvania.

Trotti was visiting someone at UAlbany and apparently spent the night in a car in the visitor lot near Indian Quad before his body was discovered around 7:30 a.m. The physical autopsy showed "a cause consistent with an accidental death," Mull said.

University Police said they have been in contact with the Albany County District Attorney's office and that no criminal charges are being considered.
